The Story of Maryam Mirzakhani and a Misogynist

It began when I met my friends, a married couple for coffee.
Hey Adam, did you see this news about Maryam Mirzakhani?”
No, what is it about?”
“Well, she is a professor at Stanford University, now the first woman ever to win the Fields Medal, the highest honor possible for a mathematician and she is from your country!” I boasted as I shared her photograph on my phone.

After a moment he said, “She doesn’t look very pretty”.
